Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

"Lao Xu, I heard you cursing outside the door, what's going on?"

A hearty voice came from outside the door. The two turned around and saw that it was Zhang Shuye, the deputy captain of the first team.

Seeing the person coming, Lian Zhan Kuang Ke hurried forward and asked: "Lao Zhang, you just came down from the front line, tell me quickly, what is the situation on the front line now?"

Zhang Shuye looked at the two people who were looking for answers and chuckled, "Haha, I had a brief conversation with the head of the B0201 regiment and found that they were attacking in the wrong place."

"What?" Lian Zhan Kuang Ke was a little surprised. The attack positions of their various units were discussed by the staff officers, so there was absolutely no problem of major deviations.

Now Zhang Shuye went to the front line and came back to say that there was a deviation in the attack position. This was difficult for Lian Zhan Kuang Ke to accept.

Looking at the expression on Lian Zhan Kuangke's face, Zhang Shuye quickly signaled him not to be anxious and began to tell him about his investigation.

"One day after our reconnaissance unit detected the target location, the Japanese changed their stationing position."

"The coordinate points that our artillery bombarded at the beginning were actually the connection points of the Japanese troops. In fact, the Japanese did not suffer much loss under the artillery coverage."

"After our infantry pressed forward, the enemy's troops reacted and launched a fierce counterattack against us. Now the B0201 Regiment is under great pressure on the front line."

After listening to Zhang Shuye's words, Lian Zhan Kuangke frowned suddenly and said angrily: "The coordinates are wrong, the number is wrong, what is the reconnaissance company doing?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shuye quickly began to persuade them.

"Lao Xu, now is not the time to blame the reconnaissance company. The Japanese gave us a time difference this time and caught our reconnaissance unit off guard."

"Who would have known that the Japanese would change their defense right after we finished the reconnaissance?"

After listening to this, Lian Zhan Kuang Ke sat there quietly, listening to the continuous artillery fire coming from the direction of the front-line positions, without saying a word.

Zhang Shuye looked at him anxiously and asked quickly, "Old Xu, don't just sit here and say nothing. The battle is still going on at the front line!"

Seeing the anxious Zhang Shuye, Lian Zhan Kuangke comforted him, "It's useless to say anything now. We still have a few regiments that haven't arrived yet. Once those regiments arrive, the enemy in front of the B0201 regiment will be nothing."

"Communicator, please tell me where the B0204 regiment is?"

The signalman put down the phone and said with a grim look on his face: "Captain Xu, the B0204 regiment encountered puppet troops on the march. The two sides are fighting fiercely and cannot be deployed to the battlefield as scheduled."

Upon hearing the news, Lian Zhan Kuang Ke's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Yes, yes."

"Lao Zhang, contact General Li and tell him that our detachment encountered the enemy's 11th Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Wujun in the Taicang area."

Zhang Shuye didn't react for a while. What he encountered were puppet troops, not the Japanese. How could he report it?

Looking at Zhang Shuye who was still confused, Lian Zhan Kuangke explained: "Before, we always thought that the one engaging with the B0201 Regiment head-on was a puppet army division and a Japanese brigade."

"Now that the battle has begun, we have discovered that there are more than 18,000 enemies on the front battlefield. This number is obviously not the same."

"A puppet army division only has 6000 to 8000 people, plus a Japanese brigade, the number does not match at all."

"Now that the B0204 regiment has sent a telegram saying that they have run into the enemy, I know that the pseudo-army division they ran into is the one that disappeared in our front."

After listening to Lian Zhan Kuang Ke's explanation, Zhang Shuye immediately understood his idea and asked, "Could it be that there was something wrong with our action plan, and the devils had made preparations in advance?"

"That's the only way. However, no matter how much they prepare, it's useless. The entire Wusong area has been cut off by our three detachments. Even if the devil's locusts come, they can't escape!"

Jiangsu-Zhejiang Column Headquarters

After receiving the news from the first team, Li Qingping looked at the night scene outside the window.

"It seems that they are in trouble."

With a light chuckle, Li Qingping looked at the anxious looks of the staff officers and said lightly.

"Mr. Li, although the target number has not decreased, the first team has not yet arrived in full force. Should we give them some support?" asked a staff officer.

Li Qingping did not respond, but walked out of the command center and looked towards the Wujun area.

"A few months ago, when I was boating on Lake Tai, I took the opportunity to eliminate the leaders of some family forces over there."

"I originally thought that a large number of people would break away from their control and join the arms of our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Column, but that didn't happen."

"From then on, I knew that the Dragon Kingdom was now plagued by corruption. Not only was the government exploiting them, but the enemy was also exploiting them."

"Even local clan forces and reactionary sects are restricting their actions."

"This time our plan went awry, which was within my expectations. Although the people are loyal to us, they also need to survive."

"So, what I need to do now is to get the logistics right and trust our comrades. They are not as weak as you think."

After hearing what Li Qingping said, the staff officers present were silent.

Wherever they went, the people welcomed them wholeheartedly, but they did not expect that their attack on Shanghai would be defeated by these people.

Looking at the staff officers who seemed to be deep in thought, Li Qingping knew that it would be easy for them to get into trouble if they continued to think too much, so he clapped his hands and continued to arrange tasks.

"Du Qingya, copy my words verbatim, send them to Xiyang Headquarters, and present them to the commander-in-chief!"

"Yes!" Du Qingya nodded and went straight to the next room.

Looking at his back, Li Qingping revealed an unfathomable smile, then turned to look at the mountains and rivers shrouded in mist.

"Yamakawa, is your fifth team in place?"

Qingwuraoshanchuan nodded, pointed to a few locations on the map, and said, "My fifth team will stick to the rear of the first team when we set out. The enemy should not be able to find our traces."

Looking at the locations he pointed out, Li Qingping said, "Although the team you followed was very close, I think only two regiments can join the battle."

"However, having two regiments is better than having none. Order these two regiments to quickly move towards Taicang and assist Team 1 in eliminating the enemy in Taicang!"

"Yes!"

B0201 Regiment Headquarters, Front Line of Team

Regiment commander Wu Chenghu put down the phone and complained to the political commissar beside him helplessly.

"Hey, Lao Jiang, why don't you think the captain believes me?"
